Life is More than Blessing​

 


If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep… you are richer than 75% of this world.


If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace… you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.


If you woke up this morning with more health than illness… you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.


If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.


If you can attend a temple or mosque or church without a fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death… you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.


If you hold up your head with a smile on your face,are truly thankful, you are so blessed because the majority can, but most do not.


If you can hold someone’s hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder… you are blessed because you can offer healing touch.


If you read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.


If you are still regretting over anything today, make yourself understand that you are blessed more than many people around you.


​Life is challenging and we must keep ourselves going. But Life is also a blessing that we must be thankful. Spread this to others around​...


Have a Joyous week ahead 💕 🤗 ❤ 👍
